How to Undo "Change Transparency" of a Face in Solidworks

This video shows how to quickly change a stubborn transparent face of a part in Solidoworks back to opaque. I have tried many many things with very little luck and I found the simple solution today. By turning off the "Enable selection through transparency" feature in the settings, you are able to select the transparent face AND right click on it, to access the "Change Transparency" feature.
I have tried using the "select other" feature, which allows me to select the transparent face, but then does not allow you access the to right click menu , which seems to be the only place with the "Change transparency" feature.
How to select transparent face

[@borisozersky9445]

Thank you! Another option is to hold Shift and right click selecting the face, unselect "change transparency"

[@crookedriver2079]

Tried that and it just made the face behind it change transparency! Doesn't work!

[@HumbledGoat]

Thank you very much Boris

[@hiddelokin6196]

Thanks you. What he did in the video doesn't work for me. Your way works!

Sorry for the very late reply, but there are 3 ways to do 1. Shown in this video 2. Using Hold Shift and move the mouse on the face and right-click and unselect "Change Transparency." 3. Goto Appearances and expand the items, and you will see all the Transparency faces, Simply delete them, and it will become normal :)

[@farzadforouzandeh2019]

This problem is super annoying, aaah! Perfect solution. Really appreciate it!

[@周冠華]

[@coryrichter1269]

Thank you! I've played with this for 4 months, and never figured out. Searched probably a dozen times and left it never figuring out.

[@billdempsey1312]

Awesome! I can't mention how much time I have wasted looking for how to do this. I should have googled earlier. Thank you.

[@clintathusaz]

I was in the same boat!! Another way is to just hold Shift and that allows you to select the top surface, transparent or not.

TY, I use many different cad cam and verification software and seem to run into these type of things...Thanks again...AWESOME.

[@clintathusaz]

+TheDcarlo1991 Well I'm glad it was helpful for you! That one thing has bugged me for so long, I was sure SOMEONE else had to have had the same problem!

[@TheDcarlo1991]

I learned this software in a few days because its very similar to others I use, but that was one thing I couldn't find any info on until I did a search online and found this video. Cad on...

[@crookedriver2079]

Thanks! That was really pissing me off!

[@clintathusaz]

You're welcome!

[@mohitkashyap9481]

Thanks

[@Tinnguyen123]

You can also hold shift, and click.. it'll select that transparent face.

[@clintathusaz]

Thanks! I was unaware!

[@dornahedayat]

thank you thank you and thank you again! you saved me from hours of searching in the option menu...

[@muhammadosama8308]

Thank you very much.I made a project and for some reason decided to make mirrors on it before realizing that the design of the mirror was not that good.

[@goshenable]

How can I make it to where when I right click and choose transparency, it makes the whole model transparent and not just one particular face? I used to be able to do this pre 2021 version.

[@clintathusaz]

I think in a model it will make the selected face transparent, but in an assembly, it will make the selected part transparent. Probably still not all that helpful to you though

[@goshenable]

@@clintathusaz That does help, I believe that may be my issue. Thanks!

[@gittigidiyor5168]

[@RMFvdijk]

Wauw, yet again a very simpel solution for a huge problem TNX a lot

[@clintathusaz]

Robbie van Dijk No problem! You can also hold shift and select the face, which I was unaware of at the time or maybe it's only available in the later versions.

[@clintathusaz]

You're welcome! Try hitting shift as an alternative. I didn't know about that before I made the video.

[@farzadforouzandeh2019]

This (using shift button) is even better!

[@xianbrewso]

Thanks, that was very helpful! I was going crazy, I thought I had a bad surface!
